What: The
night before the
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, New Yorkers gather to watch the famous
giant helium parade balloons get inflated.

A tradition since 1927, the giant character balloons are slowly blown up and
brought to life in the streets around the American Museum of Natural History.
The enormous balloons take up two full city blocks. Nets and sandbags are used
to keep the balloons from escaping during the night.

The action starts around 4pm on Thanksgiving
Eve on 77th & 81st Streets between Central Park West and Columbus
Avenue. Public viewing is from 3 pm until 8 pm. Regular attendees recommend
arriving at about 5 pm when the balloons really start to take shape.

show spectacular. Festivities will kick-off with performances by the Darren
Wallis Jazz Trio and the Soul Tigers Marching Band. All-male barbershop chorus,
The Big Apple Chorus, will perform seasonal favorites, and costumed characters
